Written by Frank Moss and illustrated by Fran Matera, the story follows the Everett family stranded in a snowstorm, their rescue by fire department vehicles setting off a chain of events that leads to a dangerous moment at the printing office. Cover by Fran Matera, this issue captures a quiet moment of civic duty turning perilously close to disaster.
Bishop Walsh’s journey takes him from China to Maryknoll, USA, in 1936, where he’s elected Superior General. By late 1940, with war engulfing Europe and Japan controlling much of the Chinese coast, he returns to Japan, stepping into a tense role as a bridge between the Japanese authorities and Catholic missionaries. With Father Considine and the shadow of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s leadership looming, his mission becomes one of quiet diplomacy amid global upheaval.
When a snowstorm strands the Everett family, Chuck White and Hobey rush to help, only to uncover a suspicious gummy residue in the car’s carburetor. With gasoline samples in question, Barry and Judd find themselves drawn into a tense game of secrets and sabotage, as a careless spark threatens to ignite more than just the spilled fuel.
